Showing Original Post only (View all)I am going to say something very controversial for some... [View all]
...but I do not want to see Joe Biden, or Hillary Clinton, or Bernie Sanders as the Democratic nominee in 2020. They have all had wonderful political careers but it is time for the Party to go with newer and younger faces, in my opinion.
We should respect what Joe, Hillary, and Bernie have done for the Party but it is time for them to step aside and give way to new leadership.
This is just my opinion.
